The small decking area outside the patio doors has been getting very slippy and with all the rain we have not had chance to do anything with it, my neighbour has had a leaking gutter and this has dripped constantly on it anyway today have been outside to see what I can do and put my foot through it and now it has all been ripped up and the garden is a tip!! some 5 minute job has now turned into major renovations, I have help as ex-uni son is here and it always happens when Mr P is on nights , I have taken some pics of before and after ripping up, I need to make this area a little tidier and leave it at that until I decide what I am going to do with it, so will post later after my nervous breakdown

Mrs B, I have had the table about 4 years now it has been brilliant, I am sorry to say I don't bring it in in the winter, and the stones, they didn't have what I wanted so thought rather than wait will go for something different, I think it works well considering it was a mess this morning.

Maggie, I am not sure if they thought the sack was full of food!! but they did help alot, had to rescue some frogs, fortunately I have a belfast sink nearby and they went in there, and seem quite happy.
